Ethanus Valerius Nasica

A Hellenistic Jew, adopted by the Valerius gens.
One thing that can tell him apart from his surroundings is the massive installment in the middle of his face.
He is actually quite better than his father. So strange was he- that he was given the nomen Nasica.
He grew up in the Corinthian high palaces.
Aged 33, after a successful career as a trader of olives and incense from his native Judea-
he decided to join the political world of Rome.
He believes he can add a financial-looking dimension to the empire.
Lately, in a relatively late age, he started to study war- and even rode a horse for the first time.
A calm and quiet type of person, he is known to drive adversaries crazy.
